I grew up in the one and only
Blawnox, Pennsylvania and I enjoyed it a lot even though it's one of those small towns where everyone knows everyone else's business and you can't goof off because someone else's mom will bust you. Now, for some reason, it has become overrun with cute little antique shops lining the main street which is decidedly un-Blawnox but, oh well.
We have railroad tracks dividing the northern part of town from the southern part but there's really no right or wrong side of the tracks, per se.
Interesting bit of trivia: if you see the police car staking out the traffic light on the border of town, then it's safe to run the other red light (the one in the center of town) because there's only one cop car and he can't be two places at once
